"Respect is a hard thing to get back once you lose it, and I think we’re starting to gain the respect that Wake Forest once had in this league and where we belong." -- Steve Forbes
Jake LaRavia named ACC player of the week.
Had 19 points, 10 rebounds at Duke | 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals against Notre Dame.
Worth noting: He's 24 points from reaching 1,000 for his career (had 591 in two seasons at Indiana State; 385 this season).
Wake Forest jumps up to 21st in the
@Rivals
rankings after the commitment of near 4-star OL George Sell from Ohio. Clawson and his staff killing it on the recruiting trail. 3rd commit of the weekend for the Deacs.
Clawson: “When you recruit high-character kids, they will work through adversity a lot better than low-character kids will. Those are the kids that point fingers and blame other people."
Wake Forest TE Jack Freudenthal is a nominee for the Burlsworth Trophy for the most outstanding player who started their career as a walk-on.
@J_Freudenthal
Wake Forest landed the commitment of Tate Carney who will follow in his brother's footsteps as a RB in Winston-Salem. Tate explains why he picked Wake and the fun reaction the staff had to his commitment.

Wake Forest’s Sage Surratt earns ACC WR of the week for the 4th time this season and second week in a row. Nick Sciba named the ACC Kicker of the week as well.
Random bit of baseball stat:
Team ERA entering tonight's games, national ranks:
1. Wake Forest - 2.40
2. Tennessee - 3.38
...
35. LSU - 4.40
There's no single stat to illustrate Wake's dominant pitching (and defense!) but that one feels as close as it gets.
